The previously announced Agents of the Four Seasons anime unveiled an autumn themed visual and trailer on Monday. WIT Studio is animating the anime adaptation of the light novel by the Violet Evergarden author Kana Akatsuki.
Ken Yamamoto (Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era) is directing the anime with Ayumu Hisao (I’m in Love with the Villainess) as the series composition writer, and Namiko Torii (The Grimm Variations) as character designer. The series previously revealed a spring-themed and summer-themed visual.
Illustrated by Suoh, the light novel began its publication under ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki Bunko light novel imprint in April 2021. There is also a manga adaptation of the first part, illustrated by Nappa Komatsuka, which was launched in July 2022.
Yen Press is licensing both light novel and manga in English, describing the former as follows:
Winter was once the only season in the world-but such an existence was too lonely to bear, and so it created Spring to love. Before long, the earth wished for more time to rest in the cycle, and Summer and Autumn were born. The ones who carry the cycle are called the Agents of the Four Seasons. Hinagiku, the Agent of Spring, disappeared from this land ten years ago, taking the season of spring with her. Now, after incredible hardship, she has returned to restore the cycle to its proper state-and, as in the myth passed down since the dawn of time, she sends her love to Winter.
